Not Pioneer Stone.
.The tig depot at the ferry in San
Fanclsco is not to be constructed of
Pioneer stone, as was reported some
time ago, and the fuel will be a disnp
pointmenfto the people of this section.
It appears that the contract for tbe use
of the stone from the Pioneer quarry
had already been signed, but it also
seems that there was along with the
contract an agreement that no stone
was to be used tbitt would not fulfill
the requirements of the depot A test
shows tbat alt of the stone offered for
the building, only that from a quarry
in Colusa county filled the bill. This
stone bad been in competibn with the
Pioneer stone wbeu tbe latter was
adopted but the price was $58,000 more
titan the amoqpt demanded for enough
of the Pioneer stone to bud Uie depot.
when the Colusa people learned that
the Pioneer Btone was not to be used,
and that instead brick aud terra cotta
was to be used, they dropped their
price to the figures named by tbe Pion
eer stone people, and secured the con
tract As a result of repudiating the
Pioneer stone contract the Lincoln
count; quarrynien, the S. F. Examiner
says, will sue tbe depot people, Cor-

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Thsy Oppose the Scboolbook' Monopoly
and the Oregon State Militia,
The following platform was adopted
by tbe democratic county convention
last Friday: ,..
Tbe democrat of Lluu county, Ore
gon, in convention assembled, believ
ing that the present depressed condi
tion of tbe country is largely due to
the financial system now prevailing
In tbe United States In consequence of
the bad laws on that subject passed by
congress during the lust thirty years,
and believing tbat tbe money question
Is one of the main questions of public
importance now before the country
wean therefore unalterably opposed
to the single gold standard and In
favor of Immediately returning to the
constitutional monetary system in ex
istence In this country up to the year
1873; to this end we demand the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold into equal standard legal tender
money at the present legal ratio of 16
to 1, without tbe intervention of any
foreign or European conference what
ever, and upon terms of exact equality
at the mints, nnd when so coined, to
be of equal legal tender quality for all
debts, dues and demands both public
and private in any amount. ,
i. We demand tbat all paper mon
ey aball be Issued directly by the gov
ernment without the intervention of
any national or private bunk.
3. We arp utterly opposed to the
Issuing of Interest-bearing bonds in
times of peace.
4. We favor the repeal of all speclflo
contract laws both state and national
in regard to the payment of debts iu
any particular kind of money, except
the full legal tender money of the
country.
5. We are in favor of a tariff so ad
Justed as to affect alike our agriculture,
our luhoring people, our commerce and
manufacture.
9. We are In favor of a prompt aud
vigorous enforcement of the Monroe
Doctrine under all proper circum
stances. I
7. We demand such legislation by
our next legislature us will guarantee
In the electors of the state tbe oppor
tunity of expressing their approval or
disapproval of all public measures.
8. We are opposed to the present
school book monopoly of this state
whereby tbe people are compelled to
pay unjust and unreasonable prices for
school books. We therefore arraign
the republican party of Oregon for en
acting such laws whereby the school
children of the state are compelled to
pay tribute (a th, book trust, and de
mand Ibat said laws be repealed at the
next session of tbe legislature.
9. We favor tbe construction of tbe
Nicaragua canal, and tbe control there
of by the government of the United
Slates.
10. To the end tbat we may have
au economical administration of ths
state government, wo demand that the
salaries of all state officers shall be kept
strictly within the limits of the consti
tution, aud that al (iroyidliig extra
foes or compensation of any duty or
service imposed by law upon such offi
cer shall be repealed. "
11. We urge upon tbe next legisla
ture the unqualified repeal of all use
less commissions and especially de
mand the repeal of the laws oreating.
the tajlrqad, commission, th,e stste
board of equalisation, and. ths domes
tic animal commission, and also tbe
repeal of the laws creating and appro
priating money fir the support of the
state and county fairs, and. (lis office
of fish ootnmiwioner snd game pro
tector. 12. W demand the repeal of all
laws providing for tbe organisation
and support of tbe Oregon State Mili
tia, and also the repeal of the law
oiwttlMg the offloe of Sjttmnej -general,
18. We demand tte re-enactment
of tbe mortgage tax law, and the
amendment of our assessment laws so
that nil the J jst indebtedness of the
taxpayer within the atate may be de
ducted from his assessment,
)4. As the salaries at present paid
to our county officials render taxation
burdensome, we therefore demand that
tbe salaries of the county clerk of Lluu
county be reduced from $2,000 to $1,600
per year; the sheriff from $2,000 tq
$,600; tbe oouuty recorder from $1,800
to $1,200; the county judge from $1,200

to mu; anil we uenouuee uie extrava
gance that has prevailed in ths county
assessor's office during the adiulnistra
tion of the present republican Incuuw

for eoouoiviy and it failure to repeal

A RIOT IN PORTLAND,
Disgraceful Scenes in the Republican
Convention.
Portland, April 4.-When tbe re-
publican county oonveiitlou assembled
at 10 A. M. today in the A. O. U. W.
ball, Joe Simon and Jundge Charles
H. Caaey leaders of tho opposing fac
tions, each eudeavorud to-call the con
vention to order. Both were nomina
ted as temporary chairman, and both
were deolartd eieoted by their fol
lowers. A free fight followed. Canes were
waved In the air and brought down on
tbe beads of cursing, struggling men.
Blows were exchanged wherever elbow
room could be gained to deliver them.
For five minutes the battling, per
spiring crowd surged up and down and
across the stage, and then the very
shame and disgrace of the scene
reeacted upon it, and a lull such as
comes in the height of battle followed.
.. Carey insisted that his delegate
must be seated, and Simon declared
tbey should not. For two hours tbe
battles cf words and frequent blows
were waged, and at last tbe Carey fac
tion elected delegates to tbe state and
congressional conventions, adjourned
until Monday and left the hall.
The Simon faction tben elected an
other set of delegates and a full county
and municipal ticket. D. Bolls Cohen
was named for mayor.
It was the wildest scene ever wit
nessed in a political meeting in Port
laud, and resulted in au open rupture
between the two factions, whioh seem
to be nearly evenly divided.
Yamhulers Being Buncoed.
"Old Yamhill" has a new sensation,
she s fairly giddy with excitement.
It is none of your cheap John affairs
that can't get upon its bind legs and
walk across a ten-acre lot without
limping, either. It is a full-fledged
go-as-you-please and get-there-if-you-can
gold mine boom. The fever Is
spreading worse than the whooping
cough or measles, aud the sturdy old
Yamhillers are being buncoed into the
belief that the new Eldorado has been
discovered in the foothills west of
McMiuuville. The new mineral lode
is a mammoth ledge of dark conglom
erate rock which starts in on the east
sida of the coast range runs clear
through tbe mountains aud drops off
into the Pacillo ocean. McMinuvilla
